What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

Researchers in Vietnam are testing whether learning through serious games, which are interactive digital games designed for education, improves nursing students' clinical reasoning more than traditional lectures. About 104 second-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to either six weekly game-based sessions or conventional teaching sessions covering the same pediatric care topics. The study measures clinical reasoning, confidence, motivation, and satisfaction to see if the game approach offers an advantage.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Serious game-based learning sessions
What this could lead to
If serious games prove effective, nursing schools could adopt them to better train students in clinical reasoning, potentially improving patient care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage educational trial. Results may not generalize beyond this specific setting, and the games might not outperform traditional teaching.

Participants

About 104 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Sep 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.
